The heartwarming story behind the Santa tracker: How a child's accidental phone call to a top

The Santa Tracker brings the magic of Christmas alive and children are able to imagine that the sleigh going across the globe is carrying their presents.


The main idea of the text is explaining the origin story of the NORAD Santa Tracker. This beloved Christmas tradition began in 1955 when a child accidentally called a US air defense hotline looking for Santa. The Colonel on duty, instead of correcting the child, played along and created the foundation for what would become a global 70-year-old tradition of tracking Santa's journey on Christmas Eve.
